We love turkey and have it 3 or 4 times during the cold months, I taper off from June to November so we appreciate it again at Thanksgiving. I will fix this again BUT never at Thanksgiving because this is a time for a truly traditional roasted turkey with crispy skin and with all the trimmings. I can understand why this dish is so popular with younger women who work. The taste was wonderful. I used it as I would left overs when I do my traditional version......it's rather a "gloppy mess" but since it tasted so good it's also good for "leftover" dishes. I prepared this following the recipe as described but (sorry) I did omit the bacon, I only like that in a tomato, turkey and bacon sandwich. :-) I gave it a good rating because I didn't want my personal preferences to drag down the rating just because I wanted to express my opinion of it. Thanks

I have made this twice so far and each time is more delicious than the last! I bought a turkey yesterday with this in mind (craving it!). I added some chicken brother to the crock pot at the start and again halfway through to make sure it stays moist. I also leave the skin on.

Wow! This was so good. As with others, I also adapted my own recipe. I chopped up onion and 2 ribs of celery and cooked it in butter in a skillet until aromatic. Then I added the onion and celery to crock pot with 3 cups of chicken stock, a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, bunch of fresh thyme . I put the breast skin side up, sprinkled with season salt (I use "Crazy Salt") and finally I lay 5 pieces of bacon on top. (Skin and bacon got discarded when turkey was cooked through. It took about 6 hours on high (approx. 8 lb breast). It makes the turkey very flavorful and the juice it cooks in makes really delicious gravy.
For the gravy, I took 1/2 cup of butter in skillet over medium heat and slowly added 1/2 cup of flour and seasoned with cracked pepper. To that I added 4 cups of the reserved cooking juice and whisked ountil thickened.

I have made this recipe every year for several years now and have LOVED it more than any other turkey! Very moist! I have never made it quite the same as this recipe though. I don't like bacon so have never included that. I usually use the included turkey gravy packet that comes with the turkey breast instead of a can of turkey gravy. I have never skinned the turkey breast, but just usually rub a good amount of the seasonings under the skin. It might be a bit dryer if you skinned the turkey, but I might try it this year as it would be a bit healthier that way. The sage and Worcestershire sauce do make an excellent flavor! When it was time for making gravy, I use the drippings out of the crockpot and it makes for an excellent flavorful gravy!

Quick, easy and oh so good! My family says they prefer this over the oven roasted turkey. So it leaves alot more oven space for other goodies. I followed the other suggestions of adding a little extra turkey broth half way thru cooking time. I dont think I'll be making another turkey breast in the oven again!
